The Raspberry Pi is a small, affordable single-board computer that you will use to design and develop fun and practical IoT devices while learning programming and computer hardware. In addition, you will learn how to set up up the Raspberry Pi environment, get a Linux operating system running, and write and execute some basic Python code on the Raspberry Pi. You will also learn how to use Python-based IDE (integrated development environments) for the Raspberry Pi and how to trace and debug Python code on the device. Please note that this course does not include discussion forums.

Really nice and easy introduction to Raspberry Pi and Python. I loved the part when the professor said something about Scratch, like 'we'll not use it, we're way above it'. :)

As an intro course to Raspberry Pi platform it's okay. I guess the next course in the series will have assignments that are more difficult and enable us to learn more.

De la lección

Module 1

This module describes the basic functionality the Raspberry Pi B+ board. I'll describe how to set up the board, configure it, and use it. An important point differentiating Raspberry Pi from the Arduino platform which we have talked about previously is that Raspberry Pi uses an operating system. I'll describe some of the implications of an operating system on the behavior of the Raspberry Pi as an IoT device.

[MUSIC] So the first module of this course is gonna be introducing you to the Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi is another board, a development board. It's similar, related to the Arduino. It's not that similar and we'll talk about the differences. So the Raspberry Pi basically has more features built into it, and we'll talk about some of those features. And we'll compare it to the Arduino. It's also used to make IoT devices, but it has other capabilities as well. We'll talk about the fact that it's faster, more memory, that sort of thing. But more relevant is that it has an operating system, and that really changes the way in which you use the Raspberry Pi. So we'll talk about that and what you get out of an operating system. Why does that enhance the abilities of what you can do with the device. So we'll talk about that and we'll compare it to the Arduino. And will show you the board, show you the different things it has on it and give you an idea of what the capabilities are on a Raspberry Pi compared to an Arduino. Thank you. [MUSIC]
